Uganda developed as a British protectorate in a manner which made
it virtually impossible for any indigenous politician to emerge as
the unchallenged leader of his country. Obote: A Political
Biography describes the efforts of one man to find a pragmatic
solution to that problem, and in doing so to create a united,
democratic Uganda. Kenneth Ingham makes the first attempt to trace
the political career of Obote through the ups and downs of his two
presidencies and his time in exile during the military dictatorship
of Idi Amin. The book challenges accusations of tyranny and argues
that Obote's political achievements have been underestimated. It
addresses the key issue of why a country so well endowed with human
and material resources should have suffered so grievously from
shortages and internal strife. Obote's contribution emerges as
unique and at the same time representative of the problems facing
the leaders of Africa's emergent nations.
